[PATCH v5 00/34] SEV-ES hypervisor support

This patch series provides support for running SEV-ES guests under KVM.

Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) expands on the
SEV support to protect the guest register state from the hypervisor. See
"AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming",
section "15.35 Encrypted State (SEV-ES)" [1].

In order to allow a hypervisor to perform functions on behalf of a guest,
there is architectural support for notifying a guest's operating system
when certain types of VMEXITs are about to occur. This allows the guest to
selectively share information with the hypervisor to satisfy the requested
function. The notification is performed using a new exception, the VMM
Communication exception (#VC). The information is shared through the
Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block (GHCB) using the VMGEXIT instruction.
The GHCB format and the protocol for using it is documented in "SEV-ES
Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block Standardization" [2].

Under SEV-ES, a vCPU save area (VMSA) must be encrypted. SVM is updated to
build the initial VMSA and then encrypt it before running the guest. Once
encrypted, it must not be modified by the hypervisor. Modification of the
VMSA will result in the VMRUN instruction failing with a SHUTDOWN exit
code. KVM must support the VMGEXIT exit code in order to perform the
necessary functions required of the guest. The GHCB is used to exchange
the information needed by both the hypervisor and the guest.

Register data from the GHCB is copied into the KVM register variables and
accessed as usual during handling of the exit. Upon return to the guest,
updated registers are copied back to the GHCB for the guest to act upon.

There are changes to some of the intercepts that are needed under SEV-ES.
For example, CR0 writes cannot be intercepted, so the code needs to ensure
that the intercept is not enabled during execution or that the hypervisor
does not try to read the register as part of exit processing. Another
example is shutdown processing, where the vCPU cannot be directly reset.

Support is added to handle VMGEXIT events and implement the GHCB protocol.
This includes supporting standard exit events, like a CPUID instruction
intercept, to new support, for things like AP processor booting. Much of
the existing SVM intercept support can be re-used by setting the exit
code information from the VMGEXIT and calling the appropriate intercept
handlers.

Finally, to launch and run an SEV-ES guest requires changes to the vCPU
initialization, loading and execution.

This tree has one addition patch that is not yet part of the queue
tree that is required to run any SEV guest:
[PATCH] KVM: x86: adjust SEV for commit 7e8e6eed75e
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20201130143959.3636394-1-pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes from v4:
- Updated the tracking support for CR0/CR4

Changes from v3:
- Some krobot fixes.
- Some checkpatch cleanups.

Changes from v2:
- Update the freeing of the VMSA page to account for the encrypted memory
cache coherency feature as well as the VM page flush feature.
- Update the GHCB dump function with a bit more detail.
- Don't check for RAX being present as part of a string IO operation.
- Include RSI when syncing from GHCB to support KVM hypercall arguments.
- Add GHCB usage field validation check.

Changes from v1:
- Removed the VMSA indirection support:
- On LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA, sync traditional VMSA over to the new SEV-ES
VMSA area to be encrypted.
- On VMGEXIT VMEXIT, directly copy valid registers into vCPU arch
register array from GHCB. On VMRUN (following a VMGEXIT), directly
copy dirty vCPU arch registers to GHCB.
- Removed reg_read_override()/reg_write_override() KVM ops.
- Added VMGEXIT exit-reason validation.
- Changed kvm_vcpu_arch variable vmsa_encrypted to guest_state_protected
- Updated the tracking support for EFER/CR0/CR4/CR8 to minimize changes
to the x86.c code
- Updated __set_sregs to not set any register values (previously supported
setting the tracked values of EFER/CR0/CR4/CR8)
- Added support for reporting SMM capability at the VM-level. This allows
an SEV-ES guest to indicate SMM is not supported
- Updated FPU support to check for a guest FPU save area before using it.
Updated SVM to free guest FPU for an SEV-ES guest during KVM create_vcpu
op.
- Removed changes to the kvm_skip_emulated_instruction()
- Added VMSA validity checks before invoking LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA
- Minor code restructuring in areas for better readability
